Entner–Doudoroff pathway — The Entner Doudoroff pathway describes an alternate series of reactions that catabolize glucose to pyruvate using a set of enzymes different from those used in either glycolysis or the pentose phosphate pathway. Most bacteria use glycolysis and… … Wikipedia

Entner-Doudoroff pathway — Metabolic pathway for degradation of glucose in a wide variety of bacteria. Differs from the Embden Meyerhoff pathway although end result is similar … Dictionary of molecular biology

Entner-Doudoroff pathway — a series of enzymatic reactions in bacteria that convert glucose to pyruvate by way of the intermediate 2 keto 3 deoxy 6 phosphogluconate, forming ATP. It is the major pathway of glucose metabolism in certain strains of Pseudomonas … Medical dictionary

Michael Doudoroff — (1911 1975) was an American microbiologist who discovered with Nathan Entner microbial pathway for glucose degradation in some bacteria. Nowadays it is known as Entner–Doudoroff pathway. He was born in St. Petersburg, Russia but moved to San… … Wikipedia

Glycolysis — See also: Gluconeogenesis, which carries out a process wherein glucose is synthesized rather than catabolized. Glycolysis is the sequence of reactions that converts glucose into pyruvate with the concomitant production of a relatively small… … Wikipedia
